When people online act as if Gamecube was a failed console for kiddies or something... I think back of when I first got it in late 2001.All the memories of endless hours playing Melee with friends right when it was new. Star Wars Rogue Squadron (when SW was still magical and Episode II didn't even exist yet), the Resident Evil games (getting REmake at release was insane), lesser known games like Gotcha Force or Chibi Robo that felt like genuine hidden gems.I get that PS2 had more games overall and I played them over the years, great stuff. But I still never feel bad about having chosen the GC.
>>12085381I enjoyed my Gamecube immensely, played Melee with scores of people every week. Xbox was vastly superior, Melee doesn't hold a candle to Halo.
>>12085381>When people online act as if Gamecube was a failed consoleI mean it certainly wasn't a great success considering they predicted about 50 million sales and ended up with less than half of that with some very steep discounts. I am sure Nintendo did not want it to sell about 10mil less units than the N64 just like they didn't want the N64 to sell about 10mil less units than the SNES, it's a trend they couldn't be happy about.>for kiddies or something...I noticed you posted the black GameCube instead of the much more famous Purple Lunchbox, no hiding the Fisher Price esc controller though. GameCube definitely wasn't a console for kiddies, it had games for all ages but they really shot themselves in the foot with childish console design and redesigning Zelda into a more child friendly style(yes the game looks and plays well).I guess they were hoping to sweep the kids market only to watch in horror as most of the parents bought PS2's for themselves and bought child friendly games on that console for their children. They really picked the worst time for this too, the early millennium was the peak of the "video games are for children, grow up!" vs "adults can game too!" discourse.
GC failed in several ways you can easily measure though. Low sales, low amount of games, no DVD or CD playback which was something people actually wanted in those days.
>>12085408>parents bought PS2's for themselvesDid they? From what I remember of the early 00's, no one old enough to have kids old enough to care about video games would have been caught dead playing console games. At most maybe Dad played Minesweeper or a Flight Sim game on the family PC.
I was in college living in a dorm when the gamecube was in full swing, and they were pretty common in my experience. Not as much as the PS2, but moreso than xboxes.
>>12085408I just posted the model I got back at release, wasn't trying to hide anything.I'm not disagreeing with you otherwise. I don't care about Nintendo's fiscal stuff I just say, looking back, I don't regret getting a Gamecube, and feel online discourse, even today, is incredibly alarmist and hyperbolic.
>>12085381>When people online act as if historical facts were historical facts or something... I get mad and leave my containment board to shit up this place
>>12085408>I noticed you posted the black GameCube instead of the much more famous Purple Lunchbox,It's weird to even mention that. A dark, rich, muted purple is not a baby color. It's just a color. I will never understand the idea that kids adore this particular shade of purple while adults are viscerally, instinctively compelled to look down on it. None of that is real.With the bright red, blue, and especially yellow on the controller, this point has at least some substance. With the purple, it does not. With the handle too, I claim it does not, though that's a little harder. But I think it's reasonable. The handle is black; it's hidden in the back; its shape is clean and tasteful. It isn't blatantly childish in any way. Car doors have handles too, and every adult man is supposed to want to fantasize endlessly about cool cars right? IT'S JUST AN ARCH.It's insanely silly to pretend that this elegant-looking machine is ACTUALLY childish in appearance. If you want to say customers back then FELT that it was childish-looking and reacted accordingly in the market, fair enough, that's reasonable and it might also be correct. But you can't reasonably claim that those people weren't being idiots.
>>12085381>All the memories of endless hours playing Melee with friends right when it was new.I bet that you are a tranny.GameCube Child = Pedophile, manchild or tranny.
How insanely delusional you freaks are jesus
>>12085470>Did they?I wanted a Dreamcast for Christmas, but we ended up with a PS2 because my dad wanted a DVD player. We spent a lot of time playing Gran Turismo 3 and Madden together, and later on, MLB The Show as the console's life cycle was winding down.
>>12085549Take your meds schizo.
>>12085581>Highlighted a clear pattern.>uh, shut it down!! take your meds!!
>>12085548yeah like no one complains about the gba's default color being purple, or the snes having purple sections in north america. it's a good color.
Gamecube is one of the worst consoles ever besides the N64How can you have "better graphics than the PS2" when the shitty Gamecube disc forces you to compress cinematics and textures?
>>12085381GC is based.
>>12085381I still regret asking for this piece of shit instead of a PS2
>>12085548>It's insanely silly to pretend that this elegant-looking machine is ACTUALLY childish in appearance. If you want to say customers back then FELT that it was childish-looking and reacted accordingly in the market, fair enoughAnon... Nothing is objectively childish in appearance because those distinctions are subjective. Yes, the purple lunchbox with the fisher price controller was thought of as childish. If you went back in time and showed a Purple GameCube off to anyone over the age of 20 and asked them if this is for kids or adults, you would not like the answer.>>12085725I hate to break it to you anon but Super Nintendo and GBA were pretty much exclusively thought of as little kids toys that you were supposed to grow out of, at least in the western world, not sure how Japanese adults viewed them. Their popularity now is because video gaming started to become an accepted all-ages hobby by the millennium and was more or less universally accepted as such by around 2010-15. Despite me personally enjoying both the consoles you mentioned, I have no problem admitting the SNES and GBA look like toys made for children. Because they were.
>>12085381Gen 6 was to video games what smart phones were to the internet. This was the first gen that really saw massive consumer adoption because of the value of the PS2 serving as a DVD player, and it was also the invention of the "dudebro" gamer with XBOX. In other words this was the first truly normie gen of video games. All the hate of Gamecube came from faggy normies who had shouldn't have been playing games anyways.
>>12085843>Their popularity now is because video gaming started to become an accepted all-ages hobby by the millennium and was more or less universally accepted as such by around 2010-15.You're not wrong, but what happened was that the NES kids and younger never stopped playing and became the gamer adults in the 21st century. Almost no one who was older than 8-9ish in 1987 became interested in video games later on when they "became mainstream." I don't know if you're >>12085408, but if you are then you're wrong about the whole "parents buying PS2s to play vidya for themselves" thing and >>12085470 is correct.
>>12085870I disagree. The PS2 was a huge draw to both young and middle aged adults. Either they played early NES generation as children, the Genesis era as teenagers or the PS1 era as young adults or they were older and played games with their kid on various consoles and got interested by the PS2's more mature catalog.The PS2 was often the family console and plenty of people with children gamed on it. I personally knew several adults that had one when I was growing up.
Fucking shitcubies! You're all kiddie!Gamecube sucks!1!1!!
>>12085950many people are saying this
>>12085381heres your answer
Groomer's console.
I liked ps2 more growing up but going back and emulating now theres more gamecube games that hold up. most ps2 games just feel like jankier versions of modern shit with a few exceptions, cube library is one a kind. the first party games were nintendo at their creative peak aside from maybe famicom era. sure the mario and zelda games werent as good as 64 but theyre, again, different and unique and still 9/10s in my book and that makes cube special. you had the best smash game, the best f-zero, the start of pikmin and animal crossing, metroid crossing into 3d with very good games, fire emblem debuting in the west, more unique and strange games that were fun like luigis mansion, chibi robo or donkey konga. I will take that over openslop moviegame, jarpigs or dudebro fps anyday.
>>12085989>Projection>Stealing the rights memesThe left can't meme
>>12085989>using piracy or emulation as a moral crusadenever got this one, don't most nintendo fans emulate anyway? or at least make romhacks. well maybe not with the newer games, but personally i emulated some switch games last week and was surprised at how easy it was to set up. had to use my flash drive for the roms though.
IT LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
>>12085381/vr/ and "people online" for the most part think video game sales are a zero sum game, and if a thing doesn't do as well the absolute high water mark for sales for that company/generation then it is a "failure". There's over 20 million Gamecubes in the world. Nintendo made a profit on every single one of them. That's not a "failure".
You should read this, OP:Choice-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization is the tendency to retroactively ascribe positive attributes to an option one has selected and/or to demote the forgone options.[1] It is part of cognitive science, and is a distinct cognitive bias that occurs once a decision is made. For example, if a person chooses option A instead of option B, they are likely to ignore or downplay the faults of option A while amplifying or ascribing new negative faults to option B. Conversely, they are also likely to notice and amplify the advantages of option A and not notice or de-emphasize those of option B.What is remembered about a decision can be as important as the decision itself, especially in determining how much regret or satisfaction one experiences.[2] Research indicates that the process of making and remembering choices yields memories that tend to be distorted in predictable ways.[2]
>>12086609>There's over 20 million Gamecubes in the world. Nintendo made a profit on every single one of them. That's not a "failure".By that logic no console has "failed", Saturn, success, Wii U, success, 32X, success becau they "made a profit on every single one". GameCube started at $199, about $100 less than PS2 and XBox and even then the price drops were early and severe, within a year they were selling these things for $149 and one year after, $99 each, a price point where it would remain for the next 3 years. In the last couple years not only were they selling the console for $99 but they included a game, controller and wrap in the bundle. They were definitely losing money on hardware manufacturing costs alone and that is before you take into account R&D and advertising costs. Of course the next argument is software but those Nintendo masterpieces don't come cheap to make and advertise. Also unlike today the "always $60" rule wasn't in effect, Nintendo games had lots of sales and price drops, older 1st party games went for as little as $20 and that is just the retailer price, not Nintendo's cut of the profit. As for game sales in volume, it was a far cry from even the N64 days let alone the SNES, no Nintendo GameCube game moved even 10 million copies, only 3 games sold above 5 million.Nintendo themselves forecasted to investors to sell 50 million GameCubes and certainly not at such desperately low prices, this was a disaster for Nintendo and the only things that really pulled their ass out of the fire was the GBA's success and the Wii and NDS that followed it.
>>12085989One thing I noticed through my years of reading video game discussion/shitposting is that all the severely mentally ill shitposters/namefags/tripfags are ferviently anti-Nintendo for whatever reason. You know, guys like Ruggarell, Quentin, ACfag, Manlet tears and here on /vr/ australia-kun.These all share the same kind of heavy autistic energy with that sort of trademark way of no-life, terminally online shitposting demeanor, and they all happen to have a serious agenda against Nintendo.What does Nintendo have that causes these kind of people to seethe for decades and stay rent free in their minds so much? Why don't other companies cause the same effect? Sure you see a lot of anti-Sony/Xbox/PC or even other normal anti-Nintendo stuff around, but these kind of super autismal people are focused on Nintendo.Not a Nintendo fanboy myself, but I am a weeb and I do like japanese games in general, which Nintendo is part of. I also like Sega and (old) Sony.
>>12086647it's all eastern europeans
>>12086647>Ruggarell, Quentin, ACfag, Manlet tearsliterally none of these are 'anti-nintendo' lol. the best you could possibly find are quentins comics making fun of people playing handhelds in public
>>12086647nintendo is the #1 most iconic vidya dev and hardware maker of all time and its not even close. sega, sony and microsoft have up and down success but no matter what nintendo will come back and dominate. theyve been there since the golden arcade era making bangers and have put out masterpieces the entire time, even if they have declined in modern times they are still head and shoulders above the rest of the industry. when youre at the top its bound to cause a ton of seething. whats the point in seething about xbox, sega or sony when theyre already dead.
>>12086646funny to bring up this argument when sony and m$ were bleeding hundreds of dollars with every console sold since day 1. nintendo didnt get the market share they wanted but they were the only company actually making profits off of hardware.
>>12086680you don't get a discount for brand loyalty on online forums
>>12086659He's a zoomer that found /v/ in 2016 and thinks dropping random names he's heard over the years will make him fit in.
>>12086680But the thing is people rarely shit on the Nintendo stuff that did completely dominate. NES, Game Boy, ... - Even segafags are usually fairly positive towards those.But GameCube? Nintendo didn't dominate shit with that.
>>12086684>nintendo didnt get the market share they wanted but they were the only company actually making profits off of hardware.I don't buy it. They were selling their consoles for far less than the competition and the GameCube was no slouch in performance by comparison. Debuting at an already low price, there is no way were they making any profit after the first price drop let alone the second. Most of the GameCubes life was at a $99 price point at retail and the stores weren't selling it as a charity, they got a cut of that $99. Unless there was a magic machine where Nintendo input leaves and dirt and it spat out completed GameCubes, they were absolutely losing money on every console.
The only people who hate GameCube are people who are too shitty to make or have friends to play with, and they're mad about it because they're still losers in life.Sorry, maybe get a job or something.
>>12086727Gamecube didn't play DVDs or go online (nativley) which I would imagine saved some big costs in 2001
>>12086915xbox didn't do dvds too, you needed to pay for the dvd license first by buying the remote
Only tendies become this traumatized over systems not being the most popular thing ever. Having to write cope posts 20 years after the fact is not a good indictment. It clearly kills you inside despite how hard you try to convince everyone else of the opposite.
>>12086659Why would you lie?
>>12087059And yet, it seems the trauma comes from the other side. From the guys well into their adulthood, and still console warring online.
>>12086623>amplifying or ascribing new negative faults to option BOP didn't do that with Xbox or PS2. In fact he said PS2 is great.Unless you meant that post to be describing the deranged anti-gamecube guys, then yeah I agree.
Never had a GC growing up but modded my wii years ago and played all of the worthwhile GC games. Its a good console, most of the multiplats run better at 60fps and the exclusives were mostly good games. Its a decent console
start liking the GameCube or else
>>12085381>They turned Zelda into a baby game>They turned Mario into a gay waterpump community service simulator>Can't play my porno DVD's or Korn CD's on it>No online multiplayer>No GTA>Metroid Prime controls like buttsauce and can't play with the broskis like you can in Halo>Metroid Prime 2 has splitscreen? Oh sorry I'm busy with Halo 2 and GTA San Andreas rn they're the best fucking games ever made and you can even play Halo 2 online>Star Fox Adventures? Nahhhh bro that just looks like another gay kid's game and you're a fucking weirdo and a fag if you think cartoon animal people are hot>Resident Evil remake? Already played that on PS1 brah>Metal Gear Solid remake? Already played that on PS1 brah and the second game is kind of gay anyway lol>Eternal Darkness? Eh, I ain't that big into scary games it just looks like another Resident Evil wannabe>Resident Evil 4 looks fucking sick but eh it's coming out on the PS2 in a few months, I can wait>Melee looks like gay retarded baby shit I got a cousin who rides the short bus that's fucking obsessed with it though>Wtf is up with this controller dude it looks like something made by Fisher Price or Leapfrog lmao>Even the discs are tiny and made for baby hands
the only truly legendary GC game is Metroid Prime. and it's library has gaping holes in it, it was a toy console without the toy attachments the Wii could at least claim
>>12085381>When people online act as if Gamecube was a failed console for kiddies or somethingcuz it was, it was the reason why Nintendo gave up on trying to catch up to Sony and Microsoft and carve their own audience by pandering to families hard with the Wii
>>12087170this, but unironically
>>12087238For the record I had the Gamecube growing up and I personally loved it, but this was the perspective most dudes aged 12-30 had at the time. The Xbox and PS2 had edgier games like Halo and GTA and the Gamecube just never had anything that could quite compete with that.
>>12086834Gamecube is very similar to Wii U imo>didn't do well>no one cared about it>lots of great games despite that>followed up by a much more successful console that completely overshadowed it>darlings of contrarian hipstersWouldn't be surprised if, in another 10 years, Wii U is painted as an underrated masterpiece that was actually better than all of its competition
>>12086680>whats the point in seething about xbox, sega or sony when theyre already dead.lol>>12085989
>>12085381Coming out after xbox made it irrelevant in my friend group. At best the graphics were slightly better than PS2 and obviously a generation behind Xbox. It lacked the cool factor of Halo or Dead or Alive, smash was a last gen game, we already played it on 64. When we realized we could hook up several Xboxes to each other the cube was instantly forgotten about. PS2 retained its place due to a large selection of titles, getting first dibs on GTA and always having something new to show that was actually fresh and interesting. Socom definitely interrupted Xbox growing so much but by the end of the generation Xbox was the multiplayer console without a second thought.Seeing how weird people are on the internet about the gamecube feels extremely revisionist. It mostly makes sense with how it happened after Dolphin made Gamecube emulation mainstream meanwhile PS2 still has a reputation of being more difficult and Xbox seemingly has no emulation scene beyond people mentioning it works for some games on occasion.
I don't understand that about the hypothetical Tele's server, I mean... how would we get an invite if most of us got banned?
>worst starfox game >worst 3d mario>worst 2D zelda>no backwards compatibility; scammed into rebuying re2 and tranimal crossing>produced smelee troons (pic related are the only people that pretend the shitcube has any value)>no online>dogshit controller missing a select button, missing a second z-button, missing clickable sticks, and has the worst d-pad ever>explicitly lgbt design to attract homosexuals and trannies (the only thing they succeeded at)The shitcube is by far the worst home consumer electronic ever made And the thing is, cubies know it. Even in this very thread, they>>12087531 don’t try to defend the shitcube with its hardware or software, but instead make outlandish trollbait claims like it’s pathetic library with less than 3 games worth playing somehow trumps all of its competition and “holds up” better (lol) or make up autistic conspiracies about you just not liking nintendo, when the shitcube is worse than every console released before and after it, nintendo or not. The shitcube in 2025, due to its natural unpopularity, lives solely off of zoomers getting molested at smelee tournaments then being converted into cubies.
>>12085381a little realized fact about rogue leader was that the OG trilogy of star wars hadnt been released yet on dvd. the cliips from the movies that played in the menu of rogue leader were literally the first hd clips of og star wars ever shown. i remember just sitting and letting the menu play because the clips looked so amazingly sharp.
>>12086646i bought the shitty top gun game on gamecube at sams because it was $10.
>>12087614clickable sticks are an awful design tho.
>>12087640still better than having the right stick be a worthless small knub tho
>>12087249yeah and they were RIGHT
>>12087170They were right. Everything on the gamecube is so boring to go back and try to replay too. Anyone who says Wind Waker or Sunshine are fun are fucking delusional.
>>12087887Why do all British look like hooligans?
>>12087887I'll be honest. I feel like that but for 6th gen onwards as a whole.
>>12085396Melee, RE4, Metroid prime, F zero GX and Soul calibur 2 shit on the entire Xbox librairy
not 100% sure about this but didn’t xbox sales not pick up until the latter half of the gen. for the first 2 years GameCube was probably the better purchase
>>12088585I'd rather have Halo 2 than any of those, minus RE4, which I don't need a Gamecube to play.
I am sorry but the Gamecube was the kid's choice, one look at it's third party library proves this. Hell everytime I see someone talk about the best Gamecube games there is always atleast one liscenced game from a kids IP like Spongebob.
>>12089002If I look up those games, will they have ports on another console?
>>12089002This. Shitcube kiddie, vad
>>12086680you're only convincing your kind
>>12085381It's cool that you liked the Gamecube, it's a good console and all that, but it was objectively a failure.
>>12089381Interesting.I just asked the google AI if the GC was an objective failure, this is what it said.>No, the GameCube was not an objective failure, but it was a commercial disappointment for Nintendo, selling far fewer units than anticipated and placing third in its console generation. It is often considered a "failure" in a commercial sense due to its sales compared to the PS2 and Xbox, but it was profitable, financially stable, and is now a beloved console by many for its high-quality game library and innovative controller.
>>12089417>I just asked the google AIThis isn't even good bait
>>12089420I mean, like it or not, AI will always say the "canon" narrative.Since you claimed it was an "objective" failure, I wanted to see what the AI coyld gather.At least it says it was a disappointment for Nintendo, so that may make you feel better, but... Apparently it was still profitable, and the console is liked nowadays, much to the anti-gamecube people's dismay.
>>12089417>but it was profitable, financially stableSource on this claim.
>>12089458Source that it made Nintendo lose money?
STOP ENJOYING NINTENDO RIGHT THIS FUCKING INSTANT!!! AHHHHH I CANT FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMOREEE!!
>>12089458The GameCube is often viewed as a mixed performer in Nintendo's history, but here's some context on its financial and market performance.Key Facts:1. *Sales*: The GameCube sold about 21.74 million units worldwide during its lifecycle (2001-2007), which was respectable but lower than Nintendo's other major consoles like the Wii or Switch.2. *Profitability*: Nintendo's financial reports indicated the GameCube was profitable. Nintendo's business model focuses on hardware and software integration, and the GameCube had strong first-party software sales (like _Super Smash Bros. Melee_, _The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker_, _Metroid Prime_).3. *Software Sales*: Titles like _Super Smash Bros. Melee_ (7.4 million copies sold) and _Mario Kart: Double Dash!!_ (3.91 million) were significant hits.4. *Market Context*: The GameCube faced stiff competition from Sony's PlayStation 2 (PS2), which was the best-selling console of its generation (>155 million units sold), and Microsoft's Xbox.
>>12089504>Nintendo's business model focuses on hardware and software integration, and the GameCube had strong first-party software salesSo are there no separate numbers for hardware and software available?Software could've made up for hardware losses.
>>12089519I dunno, do the research. Apparently Gamecube wasn't an actual, objective failure.
>>12089498What's the point of forced false flags like this?
>>12089540Maybe he's a real anti nintendo guy having a meltdown
>>12089504>Nintendo's financial reports indicated the GameCube was profitable.Link to this financial report please.
>>12089556You do your own research, but the overall narrative is that Gamecube was a disappointment for Nintendo, yet not an objective failure.
>>12089567>You do my own homeworklol
cube sold less but its legacy has easily outshone the ps2 and xbox libraries. melee alone has a bigger following and active playerbase to this day than any other gen 6 game. no one actually talks about ps2 and xbox games anymore because its no different from the same shitty modern slop theyve been serving us ever since. theres little point going back to it when you can just get the same experience with better graphics and polish playing modern trash. love it or hate it people cant stop talking about gamecube games because theres been nothing like them before or since, nintendo sold out and went to shit right after but theres probably 6 different different franchises that peaked on gamecube. almost all of the best ps2 series have better entries on ps1, an actually good console thats held up, and most xbox games had better entries on 360.
>>12089574I was just using AI (aka a consensus of various official sources) to answer if Gamecube was an "objective failure" or nor. It turns out it wasn't.
>>12089540shitcube tendies give me a constant melty plz understand
>>12089540cubies have to shit up their own threads because they know the gamecube is indefensible.
>>12089591You mean an unreliable natural sounding answers prediction model
>>12087105Why would you lie?
>>12089604Call it whatever you want, as harsh as it may sound, I think even AI is more trustworthy than a human console warrior that's completely biased.
>>12089606Not him but all of these lolcows were openly anti nintendo
>>12089614You are him, and none of those lolcows were openly anti-nintendo specifically
GC is a failed console because it moved less units than Sega Saturn in Japan. You see, Sega Saturn is the bar which all failed consoles must be judged by.People are very determined to call the Sega Saturn a failed console, so if your Nintendo console was outsold by it in Japan, the home country of Nintendo, it must automatically also be a failed console. The numbers don't lie, and they spelled disaster for Gamecube in Japan.There is one relevant game on the hardware, and it's only relevant because the people who played it have some of the hardest autism known the man. I don't even have to say what the game is, you already know.
>>12085381I liked it. Going from 64 to Melee was the biggest graphical leap I ever experienced. It was crazy that the characters could look that good in-game and not just a cutscene. More than enough single player games to enjoy too. Making Mario and Zelda into kids franchises was a big mistake though.
>>12089621Whatever, not gonna get into samefag debate on an anonymous board, if you want to think samefag, go aheas.I do remember at least manlet tears and ruggarell being openly anti nintendo, ruggarell in particular was that nigga who was a sony fanboy right? He organized raids on /v/. Quentin made fun of handhelds but I also seem to remember he was also more specifically anti-nintendo, as his main target was the 3DS, don't remember any of his comics featuring PSP or Vita
>>12089643ok samefag, we can’t debate it because we both know you’re a retard trying to save face >I do rememberyour memory is wrong unfortunately
>>12089002>everytime I see someone talk about the best Gamecube games there is always atleast one liscenced game from a kids IP like Spongebob.I noticed that too. Cubies loves to make lots of cope posts about shovelware on other consoles, but they're the only ones to really dick suck that slop and pretend it's good.
>>12089662>your memory is wrong unfortunatelyYou aren't really posting any proof to contradict me.Ad hominems are not it.
>>12089669nothing can contradict your mentally ill samefagging victim mentality delusions, fragile faggot
>>12089670Nice, you can't post proof and just keep elevating the ad hominems.The quentin comics about 3DS are easily findable on google, I rest my case.
>>12089667I see it the other way around, anti-gamecube console war schizos like to shit on "kiddie games" but when it's kiddy games on any non-nintendo console then it's fine (spyro, crash, kingdom hearrs, etc)
>>12089671yep they sure aredoesn’t prove your point at all, little crying faggot
>>12089681Nah not really, no one that shits on Mario for being "kiddy" is dick sucking KH. It's obvious the post meant actual shovelware slop like Nick platformers that only cubies unironically enjoy.
>>12089589cube sold less because its games are shit, its controller is shit, its online was shit, its backwards compatibility is non existent unless you purchased a glorified standalone gba so you could play mario advance with more input lag on your tv. had the worst 3d mario, worst zelda, turned metroid into a shitty console fps, and spawned smelee. legitimately the worst console ever made and you can tell the faggots (You) that enjoy this god awful hunk of shit are underaged slop eaters from twitter when they >>12086008 blatantly make the same all lowercase cope posts twice
>>12089694Based.Cubies BTFO!!
>>12089705You actually convinced me. Suddenly, all the games I like on gamecube, I don't like anymore. A person online said they are "shit".
>>12089708Good, another cubie has found salvation. Now stop taking HRT, cross dressing, molesting children at smelee tournaments, and eating corn syrup.
>>12089712Lots of weird projecting. Love it.
>>12089715You know it’s not projection when the little cubie is saging the thread because she is afraid people will read her humiliation
>>12089720>humilliationThis whole board is a humilliation ritual for console warriors like you.Also I didn't use sage lmao, paranoid schizo.>nooooo, if you enjoyed the gamecube back at release.... then you're a tourneyfag!!I explicitly said I played with real friends back in the day, not tourneys (also I don't think these existed yet in 2001/2002)
>>12089567The only thing in your list that isn't speculation(IE big numbers that don't take into account development costs, advertisement, manufacturing) is this so-called financial report which I suspect you had seen or else you wouldn't bring it up so I want a link to the specific report you have seen.
>>12085381>When people online act as if Gamecube was a failedthen they are trolling. It was a huge success.
>>12089730Do your own research, I just asked the AI if Gamecube was considered an "objective failure", the answer was negative. If you want to delve deeper into fiscal shit shenanigans, do it yourself.Also, you saying that gamecube was an "objective failure" is also speculation on your part. At least AI uses official sources and isn't a biased human led by console war emotions. I trust the AI more.
I don't know what is it about the Gamecube that inspires so much love/hate. This thread is one of the most popular on the board right now.
>>12089745>Do your own research, I just asked the AI
>>12089751>At least AI uses official sources and isn't a biased human led by console war emotions. I trust the AI more.
>>12089749no one wants to talk about boring ps2 shovelware, curious.
>>12089756Nice console warring, but ps2 doesn't really get as attacked, or as loved, as the gamecube
>>12089752>At least AI uses official sourceslol I just asked Google AI if GameCube was a flop and the sources it pulled from were just YouTube videos.>I trust the AI more.Hahahahaha!
>>12089749The gamecube is an extremely shitty console with trash games, features, and controllers, so most of the discussion around it comes down to trying to figure out what went so fucking wrong and how nintendo of all companies made such an anomalous piece of garbage
>>12089591>I was just using AINo. It was NU that caused you to cope and tell anon to do your homework for you>It turns out I humiliated myselfYup Moar plz
>>12089762lmao, well the sources it was giving me were some fiscal stuff in PDF directly from nintendo.co.jp but I honestly am not downloading that and reading through it.Even with the contradictions, I still trust a bot more than a human console warrior. I stand by that.
>>12089771You convinced me. By calling the games "shitty", I suddenly don't like them anymore.
>>12089772Why speak in 3rd person?And again, the only ones humilliated on this board are console warriors like you.
>>12089774>I... I have the financial reports that prove it but I won't link it because ah, ah, reasons.Uh huh.
love me cube, simple aswhat is my library missing? besides super monkey ball 2 and XD, Im definitely grabbing those
>>12089790Just google it dog: nintendo.co.jp fiscal report 2001-2006, and do your own reaearch if you care that much about nintendo's finances.I still stand by trusting a robot more than a human console warrior.Your question may have triggered meme YouTube replies because you used the sensationalist word "flop". Ask the AI if the GC is an "objective failure" and check the sources yourself, it doesn't retrieve youtube links.
>>12089798Gotcha Force, cool /m/ type game
>>12085549hey lash out at me all you want but no matter how much you type you know exactly how many friends you have, and you know exactly how shitty your life is. You deserve it.>zeroLivestream your inevitable suicide, incel>t. not a tranny just a dude with 3 other friends who liked to play Smash. Seethe with jealousy at a joy you'll never feel
>>12089798>>12089808Nevermind, didn't see it in your list.If you can get a mic to play, try Odama.
>>12089806>Ask the AI if the GC is an "objective failure" and check the sources yourself, it doesn't retrieve youtube links.lol
>>12089832Nintendo's financial reports are publicly available on their official website. You can visit http://www.nintendo.co.jp and look for the fiscal year reports from 2001 to 2007, which cover the GameCube's lifespan.Some relevant reports to check out are:- *Consolidated Sales Data*: Nintendo's consolidated sales data for each fiscal year, which includes hardware and software sales figures.- *Financial Highlights*: A summary of Nintendo's financial performance for each fiscal year.- *Annual Reports*: Detailed reports on Nintendo's financial performance, including business segment information and management analysis.You can also search for specific reports or presentations on Nintendo's IR website using their search function.1AI still more valuable than human console warrior
>>12087170>Star Fox Adventures? Nahhhh bro that just looks like another gay kid's game and you're a fucking weirdo and a fag if you think cartoon animal people are hotThis one is inaccurate from my experience. One of the chads i knew said Berri in Conker Live & Reloaded was pretty hot
Being a GC kid shows you were able to think for yourself and pick the games you liked, instead of the ones everyone told you you were supposed to play, and you should be proud of it.No question the PS2 had *some* good games, but most of the people who had the console sure weren't playing them. I knew these people. All they ever had was generic car game, or generic gun game, and they thought GTA was actually good for more than twenty minutes. Absolute sheep.
>>12090369>and they thought GTA was actually good for more than twenty minutesThis still baffles me to this day
>>12090424Well, you can do anything...That in this case being drive around and kill NPCs who don't put up a fight.
>>12088585Metroid Prime is fucking boring, non stop back tracking and hand holding throughout the entire fucking game. I got my Xbox well after I got my GC and let me tell you I swear I had PTSD from Metroid Prime when I had to backtrack in some, not even close to all, levels in Halo. I like the other games you listed just fuck Metroid Prime.
>>12090597Backtracking isn't even a problem. It's a game about getting to know your surroundings. it's part of the package.
>>12090369I was a GC kid and I got the games my parents bought for me. It was a good console, but in retrospect I know I would've been happier with a PS2 or Xbox.
>>12090597for the artifacts you can easily route them out along the way, with one exception that's only a few rooms back after getting the phazon suit. otherwise there's not really that much backtracking that isn't just part of playing metroid normally, ig the space jump boots are kinda out of the way and the mines are boring because the midway shortcut isn't optimal to take except when exiting for good. in the second game you can get one or two keys and then the rest require the light suit. and then they make you not only backtrack out after getting the boost ball again but later to a completely different region after getting the spider ball deep into sanctuary, it's so arbitrary.
>>12090369Being a cubie meant you were limited to the same 5-6 Nintendo games literally everyone owned. What a retarded post lol. I could go ask make a thread asking for anons’ l 10 favorite games on PS2, and each post would be wildly different. I could do the same for GC, and you’d see the same pool of 12 games repeated over and over and over because the library is small and mediocre outside of a small handful of titles.
>>12089784>no u>no uYour humiliation level is >9k
>>12085396>babby's first fpsNo one cares
>>12085396>baby’s first shovelware party “fighter”halo mogs smelee so hard
>>12090917Hypothetically: maybe if you had infinite money and time.I didn't even get to have all of the GC games I wanted. The only game I felt a bit screwed by not being able to play was MGS3, and I played it like two years later anyway, so all was good.
>>12090947I have no idea why people pick up games like Metroid and complain about backtracking.What did they think they were buying? Megaman?The fact that you walk back and forth across this world, becoming increasingly familiar with all of it's ins and outs, and hunting for all of the hidden niches and treasures, is literally the appeal of the genre.It's an exploration game, with some shooting in it, not the other way around.
>>12090964>asking for anons’ l 10 favorite games on PS2MGS3, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Silent Hill 2, GTA San Andreas, ALL THE CLASSICS!
>>12091025Humilliated people here are the console warriors like you though. They are mocked without them realizing.Imagine being an adult and console warring in 2025!
>>12090263At least Conker is fun to play, and it's got guns, beer, cussing, and multiplayer in it.
>>12091210Those games all suck.Games that made PS2 better than Gaycube and Kylebox are Twisted Metal Black, Tekken Tag, MvC2, Transformers Armada, Tenchu 3, Shinobi, Sly Cooper, Jake and Dexter, Kingdom Hearts, Virtua Fighter, and Devil May Cry. I had fun playing all these exclusive games while on Gaycube I only had fun playing Metroid Prime and on MtnDewbox only had fun playing...well, nothing, it only had Halo and fps is gayIn actuality 6th Gen was a huge letdown compared to 5th, which was a huge letdown compared to 4th which was the peak of console gaming. But PS2 still outshined the restAnd Mario is gay it's the most inoffensive beta series ever, Mario is literally a basedjak, Peach has no sex appeal, Yoshi and Toad are both clearly queers, and Bowser is a big fat cuck while Wario is a shalom. The world's are nonsensical with smiling rainbows and happy clouds while you fight cute harmless turtles and cock tips wearing boots. There's just nothing good about it.
>>12091695this, but the autistic rant about mario just makes you sound like a falseflagging cubie
>>12091715Am I wrong though? I'm not above liking kid shit, as a kid I was into Transformers, Marvel/DC, TMNT, Sonic, Street Sharks, Pokemon and Digimon once those came out, but I never understood how Mario was "cool" and it had nothing to do with console warring, Genesis was my first console but my best friend had SNES, and I enjoyed things like Star Fox, DKC, etc
>>12091695I want to play maybe one of those. I'm not even trying to start shit.Devil May Cry 3 is good, sure (DMC1 is questionable).
>>12085381To be fair, Nintendo and its Gamecube didn't do anything wrong. Other than being a bunch of greedy, selfish bastards.Microsoft didn't do anything wrong either, other than being a soulless console with zero originality.The point is, the PS2 was just too good. A monumental phenomenon at the time. Everyone who owned a PS1 (tens of millions of them) had only ONE thing in mind: a Playstation 2.I don't know what your favorite sport is, but imagine trying to be better than Michael Jordan when he was in his prime. Literally impossible. Simple analogy: pick the best team or athlete of all time, during their best years, of any sports segment and you will understand why there was nothing capable of dethroning the PS2.
>>12085381>But I still never feel bad about having chosen the GC.I feel bad for youImagine not have experienced the best and most popular traditional home console of all time during your childhood, because childhood is the best possible period of life to experience video games.Not many people had this opportunity. You had, but your parents cucked you.I DO feel bad for you. Seriously.This chart alone says a lot.
>>12091787OP here. I wasn't even a kid during 6th gen anymore, my childhood was (luckily) 3rd and 4th gen and I would never trade those 2 gens for anything else.I did play PS2 later and I even mentioned that on the OP
>>12091804Also forgot to mention, it's not that I didn't have access to PS2, friends had it so I played a lot of the early games. I also had a Dreamcast before Gamecube.I also once lent my GC to my friends and he lent me his PS2 because I wanted to play DMC and Castlevania lament of innocence right when it came out.I can't complain, really. I DO feel bad for kids who grew up during 6th gen/dudebro era though.
>>12091787>This chart alone says a lot.
>>120917879/10 people bought the PS2 to play GTA, and I played GTA on PC (and didn't think it was that good)
>>12091838I disagree, based on the wikipedia list of best selling ps2 games AI also doesn't support your claim:>The best-selling PS2 game is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but regional best-sellers vary. For example, Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec is a top seller globally, but other games like Final Fantasy X and specific titles within the Dragon Quest series were extremely popular in regions like Japan.
>>12085381I was an idort back then. Got my Gamecube in 2002, Xbox in 2003, and PS2 in 2004. Gamecube and PS2 ended up being my most played consoles of the three. I was too young to really appreciate the Xbox at the time, though it was cool as a multiplayer console. I had a friend who's Xbox was modchipped.>>12085396Halo is alright, but Melee is way more fucking fun, I think.
